MSG - what a great club - why was it allowed to close????

One of the most memorable nights was when Carthy failed to show (Jenks was livid - "Carthy's off doing a gig with f*****g Steeleye Span"). Mike Whelan & Aly Bain took over the main spot and Tony Capstick came out of the audience as support.

There was also some terrfic blues in the jazz cellar when some legends were still alive:
Fred McDowell
Sony Terry & Brownie McGee
Rev Gary Davis
Larry Johnson (is he still around?)
etc, etc
plus the likes of JoAnn Kelly, Bob Hall etc

Also remember the Two Brewers in Salford & the TV programmes made there with Pentangle, Ralph McTell etc
Are Dando Shaft still around?
Anyone remember the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra?
